I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Peabody (Saint Louis, MO) in Sep 2016
Interview
The entire process took about 1 month from application to start date. It started with an a phone interview with the recruiter. The phone screen was more informational about Peabody. Everything was communicated very well - including the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. From there, I interviewed with the Manager of HR Systems, Manager of Employee Benefits and three of 5 Benefits Specialists. All interviews were similar in that most questions were behavioral based. Then, a second in-person interview with Director of Hire-to-Rehire, and the other two Benefits Specialists. Again, behavioral based interview.

Interview
Interviewer was rude and kept asking questions about my last rate of pay, and asked several times as to why I left my last position as if he was expecting me to change my initial answer. I was not given the opportunity to ask additional questions and he dominated the entire conversation. He was too focused on my last rate of pay, why I left the company, and why I was asking for a salary above my last position. With the attitude he displayed I can now understand why the review for this organization is 2.9 stars. I should be 0 stars. I will never apply to work for this company again.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How much did you make in your last role, did they offer PTO/vacation, what was the 401(k) match, etc. (All invasive questions about my last role). The interviewer never provided information about the salary for this role, etc. This conversation was very one-sided and I was not given the opportunity to ask any questions. The recruiter did advise that they recently laid off thousand of employees recently. I would not want to work for this company based on the uncertainty alone.
